Oil filter Mahle or Mann

If zero rust, go for it. Mann, Mahle, or Kayser filter.

Yeah, the first thing I did was an oil change. I put liqui moly 5w-40 in the car and the oil level is top of the dipstick (EDIT: within the max/min level on the dipstick, top of max, I should specify). I put a Mahle filter in there as well.

Used some Rowe VW 508/509.00 0W20 oil plus Mann filter.

I run Castrol Edge 5W-30 with Mahle filters and no stabilazers since I don\u2019t trust that bullshit. Changes every 10,000km and she\u2019s still running beautifully with 205,000km on the clock

I use 10W/60 and change it out ever 5k. I also use MANN W 719/30 oil filters. They are designed for synthetic oils and longer oil changes.

Mann filter snapped firmly into place and felt really solidly built. Will be using this one from now on.

Can’t tighten these caps by hand as they need to be torqued down to spec. Also use OE Mann filters and gaskets as they will not leak.

Use a Mann oil filter and torque it properly... they shouldn't leak

I can recommend MANN filters. I've cut one open recently. They have a full metal construction, even the inner tube isn't plastic.

The five has been known to not fill up with oil upon starting due to the one way valve At the top to create a bubble. It is rare but has happened. The five was always difficult to fill because you had to fill the small holes instead of the center.
